Well, yes, if you go full enterprise with 6 VM's and 30 Docker containers I can understand how you'd aim for 64GB of RAM but then, why would you want to use a fanless mini PC for it?

Fanless, mini and 64 GB or RAM in a single device is going to be a tough challenge anyway.

  I think super micro makes such edge devices. But then we are talking a different category now.

    Interesting! https://www.ahead-it.eu/en/shop/servers/embedded-iot/intel-atom-processor/supermicro-sys-e302-9a-nr-fanless-cse-e302il-a2sdi-4c-hln4f-rohs https://www.ahead-it.eu/en/shop/servers/embedded-iot/intel-a... Those? Technically they are fanless but I wonder how well they would work outside of a rack with high ambient, they seem to be fanless themselves but still rely on having plenty of air pulled across the casing. Mounting them vertically might work. 850 euro though!

      Yep. I think they would throttle under heavy sustained load. But I don’t think these are for sustained load or home servers. Probably designed for places like traffic cams where maybe large image models need ram and prefer no moving parts that can fail. Even places like factory floors.
